Stress, Anxiety & Allergies

"I have been to see Lily on 2 separate occasions.

The first time was a couple of years ago due to feeling stressed, anxious and generally overwhelmed for a while. I had tried various natural therapies and had heard good things about acupuncture so thought I'd give it a try.

I then came to see Lily again 2 years later, around a year aged having my first son, due to hormonal imbalances causing lots of allergies. Within 2 sessions all of my symptoms had completely gone! Again,

Lily is very friendly and welcoming and straight away made me feel comfortable. She offered lots of other advice during my consultation to try and incorporate alongside my acupuncture treatments. "

Rhinitis, headaches, feeling 'under the weather', anxiety and indigestion

'I have been suffering with rhinitis for a number of years now, which has meant a blocked nose, headaches and generally feeling 'under the weather'. I don't like using medicated nasal sprays or taking medication on a regular basis.

I am so pleased that I made the decision to have acupuncture with Lily. I feel so much better not just for the acupuncture but also for the dietary modifications and lifestyle suggestions. They are becoming a very positive part of my life.

I have no hesitation in recommending Lily Lai and 'Acupuncture and Herbs' to other clients and also healthcare professionals. It has been a life changing experience for me. I feel so much better...sleeping more soundly, less tired and anxious, much improved digestion and a noticeable improvement in nasal congestion. I shall continue treatment as long as necessary to maximise the benefits.

I have found the acupuncture sessions with Lily to be enormously beneficial. I had never had acupuncture before but I am delighted with the outcome. In fact, it has been one of the best decisions in my life.

Although my main problem is rhinitis, I never realised how it linked it is to other problems that I had come to accept as 'normal'.....tiredness, difficulty in sleeping, anxiousness and indigestion. These are all now being resolved. Brilliant!!

I honestly don't think that the care I have received could be any better. Lily is very professional, competent, courteous and reassuring. I feel totally confident in her expertise.

Thank-you, Lily.'

Maintaining pregnancy and handling anxiety and panic attacks.

"When I came to Lily, I was looking for additional support to help me sustain a pregnancy after suffering a stillbirth and miscarriages. These losses led to anxiety and panic attacks which I hoped acupuncture would also help me manage. I had Acupuncture before pregnancy and weekly during a successful pregnancy and again three years afterwards before and weekly throughout a second successful pregnancy.

The acupuncture, support and care I received through my pregnancies was extremely helpful. The anxiety I experienced due to previous losses was handled with such care and understanding and this anxiety was significantly reduced as a result of such care. Before acupuncture I had only known loss and sadness with respect to trying for a baby despite receiving medical help. I continued to use traditional medical help alongside acupuncture with my two successful pregnancies and am convinced that without acupuncture I may well not now be in the truly blessed position of being a mother to two children."

To treat anxiety, bloating, sugar cravings and a general overall sense of balance

"I wanted acupuncture to treat anxiety, bloating, sugar cravings and a general overall sense of balance and have had about 6 treatments so far. Acupuncture helped enormously with my anxiety. It helped me to feel calmer and more able to cope with stress that came into my life. It helped me to have a much more even control over sugar cravings, which really tend to disappear with regular treatments. It also helped with my sleep which was much deeper. I overall felt more invigorated after treatment and the following days.

I think Lily is wonderful and clearly knows her subject very well."

Anxiety & Panic Attacks

"Anxiety and panic attacks have been part of my life for the last 10 years. I'd been made redundant and found it a huge knock to my confidence. I was extremely anxious about attending job interviews and Lily was recommended to me by my sister-in-law.

I found the acupuncture really relaxing. Within two sessions, I felt much better. Within 3 sessions I had a new job! I will definitely continue to see Lily on a regular basis."

Anxiety

"I've been getting anxiety for approximately 1 year and decided to try acupuncture which had been recommended to me, and I was willing to look at trying an alternative to ease my anxiety.

Lily was a great help to me and eased my anxiety a great deal, enough so that I was able to be anxiety-free for long enough to fulfill my long term goals of running the London Marathon."

Anxiety & ME

"I've been suffering with anxiety for 10 months prior to my first appointment with Lily, and from ME for 6 years. I had tried Amitriptyline which was not able to control my anxiety levels and was keen to get it under control.

My anxiety symptoms meant that I experienced disturbed thoughts, twitching muscles, anxiety shocks and diarrhoea. With the ME, I suffered with a lack of energy, exhaustion, headaches and brain fog.

Lily's treatment procedures and professional caring manner could not be improved on, they are impeccable. After a course of acupuncture with Lily, my anxiety levels were reduced such that I can now watch TV without having disturbed thoughts, and undertake activities that would trigger off my anxiety such as playing video games. At PMT time, I do not end up suffering from anxiety as badly. In general, the acupuncture alongside a low dose of my anti-anxiety medication has meant that I have been able to live my life again.

The biggest surprise has been the effect of the acupuncture on my ME symptoms. It is thanks to Lily that I no longer suffer from exhaustion nearly every day of my life. Thank you."

Panic Attacks, Anxiety & Stress

"For 9 years, I have suffered from panic attacks, anxiety and stress. My sleeping patterns had also been disturbed for a while. Acupuncture was suggested to me at hospital and Lily came recommended to me by a friend so I tried it. I experienced an amazing difference in my life. Going from being scared to even go into town to shop, to being able to get my life back on track, going and doing what I wanted and even signing up for a college course which I had put off for nearly ten years. I feel much more confident and better about myself. I can't thank you enough.

Anxiety, Stress & Emotional Upset

"I've read about TCM before and was going through some anxiety, stress and emotional upset as a result of a breakdown of a relationship. After the Acupuncture treatments with Lily, I found relief from my physical anxiety symptoms but also within myself gained clarity of thought and insights into what I should do.

I have found your approach very professional and caring - I would recommend you without hesitation. Thank you so much. "

Stress, Low Mood, Anxiety

"I was suffering from stress, low mood and anxiety and decided to book in to see Lily after I got feedback from friends that acupuncture had worked for them.

I felt completely listened to in the consultation and I was given good advice and tips on maintaining health and wellbeing.

Lily it was a lovely experience and it gave me that extra boost I needed at the time!"

Depression & Anxiety

"I have been suffering from depression and anxiety for several years and was on a lot of medication from the doctors. But I was still finding every day an uphill struggle and suffered from panic attacks on a daily basis. Lily had been recommended to me by a friend and I wanted to see whether she could help me. She offered me acupuncture treatments which I found very relaxing and at the end of the course of treatments, I was feeling much more stable, grounded and emotionally happy. Lily has played a huge supporting role for me over the sessions."
